If we don’t do something now, the worst can happen

Just a few months ago, it looked like President Biden was close to finally achieving his top legislative priority: protecting the right to vote for all Americans. But 16 months into Biden’s presidency, Americans — especially Black Americans — are still being denied the right to vote. Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act right now, before it’s too late. Click here if you agree. What happened? The title of Rolling Stone’s postmortem says it all: “How Joe Manchin Knifed the Democrats — and Bailed on Saving Democracy.” Joe Manchin pulled a bait-and-switch on our democracy by pretending to be amenable to passing vital voting rights protections with a filibuster exemption just for as long as it was politically expedient. Then, Manchin revealed his opposition to two cornerstones of Biden’s agenda — voting rights and the Build Back Better agenda — one after the next. We can overcome Manchin by mobilizing the rest of Congress to prioritize voting rights legislation now, and not simply sit there and accept Manchin’s obstruction. All Members of Congress, regardless of partisan affiliation, need to take a stand for the fundamental democratic right to vote!

The essence of the campaign is eight procedural rules that Campaign Zero claims “data proves” can conjointly decrease police violence by 72 percent. Scenarios in which a civilian ends up dead and the misconduct is so flagrant as to potentially form the basis for a criminal charge. But there are lots of encounters between officials and civilians that are violent without being fatal. Signing this petition shows that We the people demand action against police brutality and promote finalizing the 8 can’t wait rules to prevent more tragedies like the case of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and etc.

Human-induced climate change is causing more frequent extreme weather events around the globe. Unfortunately, poorer countries like Mozambique, Bangladesh, Guatemala, and Somalia – countries that have contributed the least to global greenhouse gas emissions – are disproportionately affected by severe weather loss and damages and are unable to cover the costs themselves. For decades, coalitions of island nations and least developed countries have been advocating for the creation of an international loss and damage fund to assist poorer countries with losses and damages caused by severe weather events such as cyclones, droughts, fires, and flooding, but wealthier countries, including the United States, have continuously blocked these efforts.

The decline of bees has been well-documented in recent years, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that pollinating insects have an $18 billion annual impact on crops. Temporarily stopping mowing allows for early-blooming plants such as dandelions and white clover to grow to let bees start earlier on their foraging efforts. The longer grass provides a crucial habitat for many insects and small animals without having to travel far distance through a city Regular cutting weakens the grass roots while letting the grass grow helps develop a great root system, which improves water retention and drought resiliency. When cut, the longer trimmings will help the soil by returning the nutrients, promoting healthier, thicker grass and reducing the need for fertilizers.

These latest attacks come after Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans passed and signed the horrible homophobic and transphobic "Don't Say Gay" bill into law. Together, these are gross attempts at erasing, stigmatizing, and marginalizing the LGBTQ+ community. And the latest guidance from the Florida Department of Health is a clear attempt to replace medical professionals with politicians in service to DeSantis' own political ambitions. It should be withdrawn immediately.  DeSantis' runaway agenda of banning books, muzzling teachers, and erasing history is putting a handful of extremists in charge of every aspect of the lives of Floridians and is making the state less safe for LGBTQ+ families, especially trans and nonbinary kids. All Floridians are watching.

While millions of families are struggling, billionaires have watched their fortunes skyrocket. For too long, the ultra-rich, corporations, and their lobbyists have used their influence to rig the system in their favor – corroding our democracy and hollowing out the middle class. The consequence is an extreme concentration of wealth not seen in any other major economy.

A shooter opened fire on a busy Brooklyn train platform crowded with commuters, injuring ten people, with multiple others hurt by smoke inhalation and in the panic. The shooter is still at large. Over the last few years, our already-sky-high rates of gun violence in the United States have soared even further, and gun sales are at record highs. There is an unending parade of headlines about the latest mass shooting, and of heart-wrenching stories of students and teachers, of mothers and fathers, of sons and daughters, of family members, who were going about their business when they were killed or injured by guns, their families and communities traumatized forever. The gun violence must stop. Our elected leaders have no greater responsibility than to keep us safe, and we cannot continue to accept their utter failure to do so. Tell Congress to take action now.

We need to end wasteful and unnecessary military jet flyovers and reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Currently AZ is trying to push legislation that limits discussion about discrimination and inequality (SB1412) as well as cutting school funding (SB1269) The bills seem divisive but last week, AZ signed into law a bill banning trans athletes from competing in their identified category (SB1165). **Its important that we as students, educators and parents DO NOT LET THESE BILLS PASS** We need to show legislators that we are aware of what is happening and that we are firmly against it. I am trying to organize school-based direct action because we need to demand change.
